How to do Foundation Double Crochet
Posted by vicki brown on

As today is the day we start the Summer of Crochet Socks crochet-a-long and the first pattern (Cranage Socks) starts with a row of Foundation Double Crochet, I thought it would be a good opportunity to do a little tutorial for this stitch.
I love this method of starting any crochet work - I much prefer it to starting chains - and it's particuarly useful for this pattern as we go around and work into the underside of the foundation row and I think it makes a nicer base of the stitch.
If you really don't want to do this - then you absolutely can just do a starting chain and work as many stitches as the pattern calls for - but I think once you have a go at this you'll be converted.

Start with a slip stitch.

Chain two.

Insert your hook into the first chain you made (or second chain from hook) yarn around hook, draw through one loop - so you now have 2 loops on your hook.

Yarn around hook - draw through one loop again. So you've essentially worked two chains since inserting into your first chain.

Yarn around hook, draw through both loops, and that's it you've made the first stitch.

To work your next stitch (and all subsequent stitches) insert your hook into the bottom of the last stitch you made. A bit further down is a picture with all the stitch parts labelled if you're not sure where that is.

As you did for the last stitch, you now essentially do two chains, so yarn around hook, draw through one loop, yarn around hook, draw through one loop again. So you're left with two loops on hook.

To finish the stitch, yarn around hook, draw through both loops.

Then just repeat as required.
I hope this is helpful - any questions please ask away.
THANK YOU DR. KURIAMA 🙏
I don’t usually share personal health issues publicly, but I believe my story can give hope to someone else who is suffering in silence.
For few months, i was diagnosed with the herpes virus. The constant outbreaks, pain, shame, and endless drugs from the hospital were destroying me mentally and financially. I prayed for a permanent solution because the antivirals were only suppressing it, not curing it.
My breakthrough came when I met Dr. Kuriama. From day one, he handled my case with so much professionalism and confidentiality. No judgment, just pure understanding and knowledge. He explained the root cause and how his herbal medicine would work to flush the virus from my system.
I committed to his herbal treatment for few days then i receive it. The herbs were pure, well-packaged, and he monitored me every step of the way with calls and follow-ups. He told me what to eat, what to avoid, and encouraged me when I felt discouraged.
By God’s grace, I completed the treatment and went for a new lab test, the result came back NEGATIVE. I did it twice to be sure, and both confirmed I am herpes free. The joy, relief, and peace I feel right now cannot be put into words. I have my life, my confidence, and my health back.
Dr. Kuriama, you are a true gift to humanity. Thank you for your honesty, your expertise, and for dedicating your life to healing people with herbs. You didn’t just cure me you restored my hope.
To anyone out there battling herpes or any other stubborn infection,Don’t lose hope. I am a living testimony that a natural cure exists. I strongly recommend you reach out to Dr. Kuriama for help. He is genuine, tested, and trusted.

Save My Marriage Spell
Please note that this spell is effective for any relationship that needs mending.)
Few things in life are more angst ridden than a relationship in disarray.
If your marriage appears headed for divorce, this is the time to activate positive spirits. Please see if the following applies to you:
1. Your mate is not the caring, loving person you once knew in the beginning of this relationship.
Hard times bring out the worst in people, and you feel you are being unjustly accused of wrongs you’ve never committed.
You know in your heart the relationship will work…if only the other person will put forth as much effort as you.
You are certain the two of you are meant to be together, and you fear your life will never be the same without him or her.
You must stop the downward spiral that is causing irreparable damage to your marriage. The Save My Marriage spell is an important step in re instituting laughter, trust and compatibility back to what you once had.
Have faith. For a spell to work, you must believe in the power of your magic. If you’re not convinced a spell to promote fertility and pregnancy is going to be useful, your attitude will have a negative impact on the process
life. Get your ex back, even if they are currently with another lover.
